WATER RESOURCES SYSTEMS

Time: 3 Hours

Max. Marks : 100

Note: Be precise in your answer. In case of numerical problem assume data wherever not provided.

SECTION-A

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

1. Attempt all parts in short. (2×10=20)

   1. Explain the term stochastic modeling.
   2. Define the term 'system analysis'?
   3. Hydrologic measurements are subject to errors. Write the types of these errors.
   4. A LP problem has all equality constraints. The number of constraints is the same as the number of decision variables. How does the solution change with a change in the coefficients (of decision variables) in the objective function?

   2. With reference to a multipurpose project, define the terms: separable costs, joint costs, distributed costs and specific costs.
   3. What is Lagrange multiplier method? How this is used in planning of water resources systems?
   4. What do you understand by simulation? Under what conditions, simulation models are better than optimization models and in what conditions, optimization models are better than simulation models?
   5. A dam is proposed across a river in Himalayas. It will supply water for irrigation. List and explain possible beneficial and harmful environmental consequences of the project.

4. Water is supplied from a project for two types of users: rural and urban. The benefits to rural community are given by B1 = 30y1 – 1.5y1² and those to urban community are given by B2 = 10y2 - (y2²/2) .If the total cost of the project is C = 8 + 2y, where y is the aggregate demand, determine the optimum level of water supply. Also, determine the corresponding components of rural and urban water supply levels.
5. Solve the following LP problem by simplex method:

   Maximize z = X1 + X2

   --- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

   Subject to x1 + 3x2 = 6

   4x1 + 3x2 = 12

   3x1-x2 = 36

   X1, X2 = 0
